Obviously Paul you are lucky enough not to live where any of the vermin Rudd encouraged have moved in to terrorise the locals, & are too stupid to listen to those who have some experience of them.

I wonder if, with your attitude, you would survive a meeting with my son, who has such experience, & doesn't suffer idiots gracefully.

Lexi sweetie, perhaps it could be that my son has announced he is to have yet another operation.

They can not fix the shape of his skull the vermin "Lebs" fractured in 4 places, but the head aches have almost stopped, & the double vision has gone, apart from when he gets exceptionally tired.

This one is to install a pad of mesh under the skin into which fat & flesh is supposed to grow.

This is to hopefully fill the depression running from his temple down his check.

Please don't ever expect me to approve of any humanitarian admission of so called refugees to Oz. We have experienced their gratitude

2400 Ivan Milat's.
These blokes are far worse that Milat could ever be.
They have been brought up in blood baths. They thrive on violence. They are time bombs waiting to explode in our society.
Half the camp guards are second generation refugees anyway.

This is a much-vexed issue, causing many of us much grief, whatever side of the fence we may be on - whether willing to welcome as many refugees as possible, or those who prefer we accept none.

No easy solutions; but Manus, Nauru, Christmas Island, or mainland detention are not acceptable solutions; and 'turning back the boats' is at best a temporary 'stop-gap'.

We know there are many millions of refugees (and/or displaced persons), and their numbers are growing as strife swells around the globe, in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Myanmar, Sri-Lanka, Central African Republic, the Congo, and elsewhere. Millions living in terrible deprivation, or barely surviving in refugee camps with the help of the UNHCR and various NGO's and charities.

'We' cannot take them all, the 'developed world' cannot take them all - or at least is unwilling to do so.
I can see only one solution - all displaced persons should be accommodated in acceptable conditions in refugee camps established in their 'home' countries, or in those adjoining countries to which they have fled. All in the same 'boat'; all being catered for by organised international agencies, and under reliable UN protection, until such time as the strife in their home countries can be resolved, or until alternative 'resettlement' can be arranged.
No 'queue jumpers', no forced diaspora, no favoritism for those who can afford to pay bribes.

All displaced by life-threatening strife should be assisted to reach the safe-haven of the nearest internationally-maintained refugee camp, and the full thrust of international intervention focused both on the maintenance of those camps and on the diplomatic or, if necessary, the armed resolution of the foundational causes of these displacements.

On this model, 'unconventional' arrivals would be processed quickly, with those fitting 'refugee' criteria found immediate resettlement places, and all others rapidly deported to the most appropriate international refugee camp.
Indonesia and Malaysia could adopt similar arrangements.

My rationale: provide equal treatment to all, equal compassion, equal opportunity - with genuine hope for a better future, for all.
(And, let's not wreck the planet by overpopulating, please.)

Hasbben,
The Lexis & Paul1405's of this world would probably expect you to view your son's terrible experience as a good opportunity for character building or some similar idiotic & idealistic view. My workmate's son was bashed by islanders & he is in similar shape. I feel for all of you the exact opposite of what I feel for the Lexis & Paul1405's. I just hope that they will grow up one day & become worthy citizens.

chrisgaff1000,
That should keep the homosexual lobbyists happy for some time.
